Synergy Calculator by Discover

2 of 17 The Idea: Synergy means “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” A technology according to Buckminster Fuller “is that which increases our degrees of freedom.” We use the idea that we develop the theory such that only whole numbers are used. This is done to use design of the system such that it increases simplicity of usage so that it is usable to a wider range of disciplines while at the same time achieving more, thus creating a more positive effect by breaking down the barriers erected by specialization. We achieve more using less in that we define our parameters such that there is no division of integers, thus eliminating the need for floats and casting in the source code, thus only needing to declare integers. The Theory: the degrees of freedom are N factorial (N!) because if we have a and b, the permutations for three technological functions are N!=6: (aaa), (aab), (abb), (bbb), (bba), (baa). That is, 3! = 1X1X2X3 = 6. These are the degrees of freedom for a 3 function technology. The work done by the technology must be a whole number expression thus, there can be no division. This is easily explained by looking at the ascii values for the the keyboard characters in binary. A bit is a zero or a one. Each character on the keyboard is described by a byte, which is the word for eight bits, thus we say there are two to the power of eight numbers available in binary for characters on the key board: 2^8=256. The work done by the technology is N^n, where n is the number steps to carry out the task (N is the number of technological functions the technology carries). The progress is work times n, again using no division to stick with whole number evaluations and results. The quality of life provided by the technology is described by the degrees of freedom provided by the technology times the work done by it. This paradigm becomes complete when we include Fuller’s stance that progress only happens through individual initiative. The Objective of the Project: To develop a software that evaluates the work done by a technology, the amount of progress it provides, and how much it increases the individual’s quality of life.
